on Track.... by Topaz Servias 15 Jan 2003, 9:33 AM
nice, but not limericky.

you've misclassified this as a limerick.

again, line lengths disrupt what the rhythm should be.

any poem that starts out "oh baby" is hard to take seriously.

Limericks use the distinctive rhyming scheme of a-a-b-b-a, where the first two lines set the scene, the third and fourth lines quickly twist things about, and the fifth line hammers the conclusion. (first, second, and fifth lines are trimeter, third and fourth are dimeter).
this is from the help screen, not my original writing.
Limericks focus on the absurd or the silly when they're not downright naughty.

a bit wordy--it muddles up the pace.
on horus8 by sooz 17 Jan 2003, 10:47 AM
lines 3+4 are cumbersome
on Bloodsucker by hobojo 17 Jan 2003, 10:49 AM
rhyme scheme, OK
but the rhythm is amiss.
a fine poem, but not really limericky.
